You might as well be MAGA since you are just as gullible as the base. This EO was meant to scare Indian workers and fire up the base. But within 24 hours it was another TACO with the EO walked way back and so many exemptions given that the EO means norhing already.

Agreed- the walk back was very disappointing - but at least it is a start (compared to nothing being done these past decades). I wonder if Trump got an ear full from the tech bros.

No, no. Trump is pissed with India because India is not endorsing the Noble Peace prize for him. The problem now is that India is grayrocking US.

The job market for recent 2025 US CS graduates is weak due to AI and H1B. Parents in the USA spent 150K to 400K for kid to get a CS degree and kid is back home playing video games in basement at 22 years of age unemployed. That is the issue

We shouldn’t artificially be propping up mediocrity, while brilliant foreigners go to the rest of the developed world and bring their skills and intellect elsewhere.

They all cheat and are liars..part of the culture of being born in a harsh environmnet. I'm one of them....

Americans students are exceptional

But they require a fair wage, while the H1N1s do not.

Plenty are pursuing them, and many can’t find jobs after graduating college at the moment.

That has much more to do with what this administration has done to STEM funding and adjacent industries, and not the H1B program which has been in place for a long time.[/quote

Um, no.]

No it is weak because of Trump and his sycophants.

Read Project 2025 and get back to the rest of us with brains.

There is a reason the value of a $ is going down down down

Trump is doing exactly what the left was doing the last 4 years.

The extreme left wing is just as bad the extreme right wing, they just liked what was done the last 4 years but now the shoe is on the other foot, the left wing cries "Nazi" or "Racist". The MAGA right believes every single idiotic thing Trump says.

For high tech jobs, companies will pay the price.

Good.

No, they will just take the jobs to other countries.

+There is already a big contingent of tech workers in Canada. Nicer government and lower cost of living.

When I went to Georgia Tech there was a kid in my calculus III who was from an African country called Togo that I never heard off. I got to be friend with with very nice guy.

What shocked me was how prepared he was for college..this kid from a poor African country I never heard off had already taken the first 2 year core courses in calculus and physics while in HS. I went to a Top HS here in the US and only a handful of us actually took advanced calculus in HS....He ended up working for AT&T and then Goldman Sacks.

I think a lot us in this country underestimate how well prepared a lot of international students are.

Whose kid? What kid? Are these the children of unemployed tech folks in US, who were never at the top of their game and then got laid off several years ago? CS students who have not got job placements out of college are only 4% of all the CS new graduates. Even now, 96% of CS graduates are employed when they leave college. So those without jobs are either the bottom of their CS class, or they were depending on an amazing salary, or they have not applied far and wide enough, or they are not willing to work in smaller cities.

These poor performers are the ones who -
- a) felt the need to spend insane amount of money for a CS degree instead of having their tuition paid at a state school by earning generous merit scholarships.
- b) did not have the chops to learn the CS skills that companies need and fail in all the coding and personality tests/interviews.
- c) did not have tech or research internships in the summer breaks.
- d) are unable to be flexible learners and adapt to tech changes.

Ha ha! Ok, stupid!! H1NI!! LOL!!!!

Wages are fair.

Non-American highly educated tech/STEM workers on H1B are willing to stay in the US, pay into the social service, medicaid/medicare, pay taxes all in US dollars from the meager salary they are paid - and they still build generational wealth and start tech shops in silicon valley within a few years. And they are able to hustle, remain employed and survive.
